Wagaya language

Wagaya (Wakaya) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland. Yindjilandji (Indjilandji) may have been a separate language. The linguist Gavan Breen recorded two dialects of the language, an Eastern and a Western variety, incorporating their description in his 1974 grammar.

For the language spoken by the Yuruwinga people known as Ayerrerenge or Bularnu, see Andegerebinha dialect.
